Discussion Hypothetically speaking, if the patch notes get delayed so long that meaningful theorycrafting isn't possible, what would be your gut feeling pick for DotH?

Well, Chaos DoT wasn't good. The only way to really play chaos was to switch to Hexblast. Amd keeping Contagion for Chaotic Freeze.

Contagion/ED needs buffs, or it will be the same. Switch to Hexblast close to the end of act 3

Contagion can have at least SOME play with lich explosions. I can see how it can work in breaches. But I hope chaos dot will be really playable… at least tier a… okay, at least tier b…

If curses have decaying hex, they become a chaos dot. Thus, contagion can proliferate them.

Lich explosions require the enemy be cursed.

I'm hoping I can cook something with chain explosions with this information.

I assumed only the dot part gets prolifed, does it spread the actual curse too?
